    It's where the Harry Potter MMO game ought to be set.

    Dumbledore's Chocolate Frog Card says he defeated Grindelwald in 1945, and there's a lot of stuff that links him to Germany. There's definitely some WWII crossover into the wizarding world being implied, even if the books are never explicit about this.

    I really like Finch-Fletchey, who's basically a character from a P.G. Wodehouse short story that took a wrong turn and ended up in Rowling's world instead, which makes him feel oddly chuffed and not a bit put out at all. Read any of Wodehouse's boarding-school novels and you'll see that Rowling owes him a pretty big

    No, but people do sometimes have a problem with distinguishing "was planning to see it" from "did see it" several months after the fact. I've had to tell my mom several times that no, we did not see that movie yet.

    One what? I'm on the edge of my seat here!

    I liked how the episode ended up playing out a lot like a Le Carre novel- if you try to read one of his books and you aren't paying close attention (like, taking notes and comparing what everyone tells George Smiley and cataloging his reactions to each person and cross-referencing them against the various flashbacks

    Obviously the cat ate and the dog vomited it out.

    It doesn't sting any less than it would sting if there was a chance that the rift in their friendship was permanent. Sentence is a little awkward, violating the "keep related words close together" guideline, but is nevertheless grammatical (like this one). I had trouble with it initially because I conflated "sting"

    I could go for an episode similar to the American Office's "Cafe Disco," which I think was nearly conflict-free and one of the better episodes of that series. Of course, we probably don't need that yet for Brooklyn Nine-Nine.

    He looked like he was putting food in front of a wild animal, and was really hoping that the animal would take the food and not attack him.

    Of course, that's why it's so hard to introduce friends and family to this show. If my dad had been watching with me, he probably would just have wondered why the actor with the goofier persona was playing the straight man, and decided that the scene "didn't work" because it felt, on some level, like Jake should be

    The evacuation scenes that were nothing but the camera panning across still frames: proof that Nick is still fucking with the budget, or proof that the finale is going to have the budget of a motion picture and be super-awesome?

    That would be worth it for the headlines alone.

    Actually, I'm going to say that we will be poorer as a civilization if we do not have a cinematic adaptation of Finnegan's Wake starring the surviving members of That 70s Show, especially since that definition leaves open the question of whether any cast members will survive the filming.

    I dunno, the look on Kuvira's face as the robot arm fired and the way there was a little catch in her voice when she said "I love you" to Bataar made me think her decision was reluctant.

    Oh, they're much closer than that- I have it on good authority that Hannibal shoved a little something inside Will on the last episode of the second season.

    Only if the Chemical Plant Zone music is interrupted every 2 minutes by the "Sonic is Drowning in Toxic Waste" theme, which if I remember correctly goes thus:

    Borat is basically Luigi already. It's not like Sacha Baron Cohen's doing anything these days.

    You know what? I spent hundreds of hours of my childhood playing Streets of Rage 2. I bet I could create a compelling story about a professional wrestler, a young boy wearing rollerblades, a karate instructor, and a former British policewoman all teaming up to rid the streets of gang members, large bartenders,
